Shamatha means calm-abiding in Tibetan. Shamatha meditation is the process of calming the mind to allow deeper awareness to come forward. This meditation involves holding the correct physical posture while focusing the mind on the sensation of breathing. Variations of this meditation are done in almost every other Buddhist tradition.
A Brief Biography of Khyabje Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche
Khyapje Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche, who passed away at the age of 96 on October 6, 2019, was a great master of the Kagyu lineage, renowned for his unceasing kindness, inspiring teaching, and exceptional knowledge of practice and the monastic arts. For almost half a century, he resided in the United States, dedicating his life to making the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism available in a land where they had not spread before. He built a monastery and a three-year retreat center, founded thirty-three branch meditation centers, published numerous books, and traveled to Asia and South America to teach. He is well known in Tibetan communities across the world. Through the wide embrace of his compassionate activity, Rinpoche has touched and transformed the lives of untold numbers of people who had the great good fortune to meet him.
